Vision

This symposium explored the ways in which women have expressed themselves through three centuries and many art forms. By means of exhibits, performances, workshops, and other sessions, and from the perspective of students, faculty, staff, scholars, and, of course, artists, we considered domestic, visual, literary, and performing arts. All of the symposium activities — some academic, others interactive/participatory, and a few that are totally "hands on" — connected our materials to a dialog about women and artistic expression. In this way we aimed to increase awareness about the history of women's involvement in and their unique approach to a wide range of art forms.
